It's just getting started but this quiet community, not far from
Honan and Taichung Kang roads, aims to replicate the success of
Taichung's famous Chingming 1st Street, or "tea street".
Officially opened on February 10 with an outdoor flea market, the
main street and a couple connecting ones feature about 100 shops
with a pedestrian-only area. Many of the shops are not open
yet but those that are sell a variety of items and community organizers
said that they plan to hold regular special events and eventually
add outdoor cafes. In addition to Shang Ming 2nd Street, the
area includes Shang Jen Street and Shang Ming 3rd Street.
Heading southwest on Honan Road, turn right onto Shang An Road,
section 1 at the last traffic light before Taichung Kang Rd. and
turn right at the flashing yellow light onto Shang Jen Road.
